US Biblical gay hater on talk show

Not often are you going have me say, check out Western Standard's Shot gun Blog

Today if you are interested in the gay marriage debate, all but dead in Canada but very much in play in the USA, listen in with a discussion with conservative Christian broadcaster, Frank Turek as he makes his case against gay marriage and host Terrence Watson defends it. They have phone lines opening just after 5pm. Its always good to know what the other side of the issue is saying.

From Western Standard...

Frank is coming on to talk about the issue of gay marriage. He's against it. I'm for it. As far as I know, out of the three hosts of Political Animals (the others being Jay and Ben, at this time) I'm the only one who unabashedly supports gay marriage.

Frank is supposed to be a nice guy, so I'm sure we'll have a civil discussion -- more than what you'd get from most other talk radio shows, that's for sure. At the same time, I expect we'll get to some fundamental issues: to what extent, if any, may a government "legislate morality"? What impact will the legal recognition of gay marriage have on society more generally?

The libertarian response to gay marriage tends to be something like "The state shouldn't be involved in marriage, anyway." I accept that response, but think there's still more to be said. We'll see what Frank thinks at 5!

The show starts at 4 pm EST. You can tune in to Political Animals via live Internet feed here (click "Launch Player"). Please call in with questions and comments at 1-888-7WBGUFM.

Frank Turek actually went looking for Noah's Ark, and appears on the following shows, The O’Reilly Factor, Hannity and Colmes, Faith under Fire, Politically Incorrect, The Bible Answerman, and Focus on the Family.

Okay, so now you know, he's not on our side, I wonder what he has to say tonight, my guess is he doesn't like Obama, daycare or baby kittens!
